Chelsea Fans React As 18 Year Old Makes Squad For Lille Trip

The 18-year-old has already made four first-team appearances this season but those have all come in domestic cup competitions so it will be interesting to see whether he makes his debut in the Champions League tonight.

Supporters on Twitter believe manager Thomas Tuchel must be a big fan of Vale, with there being some debate over whether he should be given a run-out in France:

Vale has been on the bench for two Champions League matches already this campaign, having made the matchday squad for the group game against Malmo and the first leg versus Lille last month, but he didn’t make an appearance in either match.

However, with the Blues already being 2-0 up in the tie, it could be the case that Vale will get some minutes tonight if Chelsea’s progress through to the quarter-finals is all but secure.
